Take better product photos

Clear photographs can significantly improve buyer confidence. Expensive equipment is not required, but the item must be visible and accurately represented.

Prepare the product

• Clean the item before taking photographs.
• Remove unrelated objects from the scene.
• Arrange all included accessories together.
• Use a simple background that contrasts with the item.

Use good lighting

• Photograph near a window or in bright indirect light.
• Avoid harsh shadows across the product.
• Avoid dark rooms and strong coloured lighting.
• Check that labels and details are readable.

Capture useful angles

• Show the front, back and both sides.
• Show controls, ports, labels and important features.
• Photograph any defect clearly.
• Include packaging and accessories where relevant.
